Domineering Peasant Girl is Not Easy To Mess With

   Chapter 617 Rake

   Mu Qingli didn't care about this, and went to dinner in a good mood.

   The village hasn't settled down yet, so let her toss it up for now. When it settles down, Jiang Shi will definitely get rid of this bitch.

   As long as she gets rid of her, with Mu Zhihong's courage and ability, without a provocateur, he won't be able to make waves. The same goes for Mu Fangping.

   The next day, Mu Qingli took out the 30 pairs of ploughs he bought from the warehouse and took everyone to plough the field.

First, a plow is used to plow up large pieces of mud, and then a rake is used to break the large pieces of soil into small pieces. Then, a **** can be used manually to get out various rhizomes in the ground. The soil is ready and ready to be planted.

  Because there are twenty plows and ten rakes, there is no need for so many people on site. It is enough to have sixty or seventy people take turns to work.

  Mu Qingli is also a half-hearted person. The use of plow rakes is limited to close-up experience in remote mountainous areas in modern times, and he has never used it personally.

Fortunately, the ancient rake is not far from the modern one. Everyone looked at it as a rarity, and they were fresh and curious, discussing at length, and following Mu Qingli's half-hearted instructions, they also made it look like it. Quickly put it on an ox, a woman led the ox in front, and the other followed behind the ox with a plough, and ploughed it crookedly.

The big ox moved steadily forward, and the sharp iron plow seemed to be very fast and easy to plow out the soil. Although it was still a very thick piece, everyone was still surprised and couldn't help applauding. Excitedly discussing.

   "This guy is really easy to use!"

   "No, it's much faster than using a hoe."

   "Hey, the people out here are really smart."

   "It's good now, I'll be able to plant something in a few days."

  Mu Qingli explained to everyone that because this land was wasteland before, crops had never been planted, and the land was not soft enough, so when plowing the land, it had to be plowed twice, and then raked.

  The rake is also used twice, and then followed by a **** to do fine finishing, and all the rhizomes brought out by the various rakes are removed.

  When you encounter a large rhizome that cannot be moved by the rake, use a **** to dig it out. It is best to dig out the whole thing, so as not to take root and sprout again in the spring of the coming year.

  These rhizomes are stacked on the ground, dried in the sun, and can be used as firewood for burning.

  The women listened carefully and agreed.

   Mu Qingli led the others to dig a canal.

   In this 3,000-acre land, she plans to excavate two main canals, one vertically and one horizontally, each running from left to right to the end, each with a depth of one meter and a width of about half a meter.

   In addition, eight small canals were dug vertically and horizontally, with a height of half a meter and a width of about 30 centimeters.

  The main canal draws water, and the small canal is connected to the main canal, which is usually blocked and opened to divert water when water is needed.

   After all, it is dry land, and the water consumption is not large on weekdays. This is just a precaution. When the canals reach the ground, it is much more convenient to carry water for irrigation.

   Having a good look at the place, he asked people to straighten the hemp rope, and sprinkled the lines with white lime, and everyone followed the lime line to dig, and the scene was in full swing.

   On this day, when everyone was working in full swing, suddenly a team of about 30 to 40 people came towards this side.

  Because of the shadows left by the Jiuli people, everyone couldn't help but panic in their hearts. The plowing, soil preparation, and canal diggers all stopped their work, shouting and carrying tools and rushing to run in the Niuwang forest.

   The children who were playing nearby and helping pick up the rhizomes didn't dare to be brave this time, and ran towards the forest first, shouting warnings.

   Mu Qingli said loudly: "Don't panic, there is still enough time to go back!"

   Naturally, she didn't retreat, and she and Xiao Ya'er stayed behind, watching the group of people who were approaching.

   There were not many people in that group. The ten or so people in the front were riding horses, and the people in the back were all walking. The same clothes were very local, but they were different from those of the Jiuli people.

   Recalling what he saw in Qingshan Town, Mu Qingli had a bottom line in his heart. These people are not from the Jiuli tribe, they should be from the Qingteng tribe.

   "Who are you? What are you doing here?" Although it was not the Jiuli tribe who came, the Qingteng Department might not be a good person, and Mu Qingli naturally didn't speak in a good tone.

   Through the contest with the Jiuli tribe, she understood that these savage tribes are unreasonable and only look at their strength.

   So you don't need to care about etiquette and politeness, everything is based on strength.

   When the other party saw their sisters, they hurriedly dismounted and stepped forward with a smile on their faces.

   The leading man and the woman were in their twenties. They looked quite alike, and it was obvious that they were brothers and sisters.

   He has a medium stature, slightly dark skin, and obvious facial features, but his appearance is quite delicate.

   Especially the woman, her eyes were black and bright, like black gems.

   "We are the young patriarch and the eldest lady of the Ivy League. We came here to visit the noble village chief and his wife, and asked this girl to report on their behalf." The young man said with a kind smile.

   The woman also nodded and smiled quickly: "Yes, yes, we have no malicious intentions! Don't misunderstand me, girl, we are not as unreasonable as the savages of the Jiuli tribe."

   Hearing this, the young man let out a low cough and tugged at the woman's sleeve, and gave her a wink.

  The woman stuck out her tongue quietly, then stopped talking, just gave Mu Qingli a friendly smile.

Mu Qingli understood their intentions, glanced at the other party, there were only so many people, and he was not afraid of what tricks they would play, so he nodded and said, "It turns out that the guests are here, our big village chief is not here, and the big village chief's wife doesn't like to see them very much. The people outside, the deputy village chief and the village elders are here, you can go and meet."

   The two brothers and sisters from the Qingteng Department came to be friends from the beginning, so they didn't have any objections when they heard the words, so they responded with a smile.

   After a while, a team of guards rushed out aggressively armed with weapons. After understanding the situation, they relaxed and led them in to meet the village chief Zhao and Zhang Zishan.

   The women who ran back to avoid knew what was going on, patted their chests and said a false alarm, and continued to come back to work.

   I just learned how to use the rake in the past two days, and I'm in a fresh state, so I naturally want to sort out the fields earlier.

   The young patriarch Yao Dong and the eldest young lady Yao Xia left after staying for more than an hour, and the village chief Zhao waited for a polite farewell.

After sending them off, the village chief Zhao proudly smiled and said to Mu Qingli: "They came to show their favor, saying that they would like to be long-term friends with us, and they gave generous gifts, and also said that they need help with anything. Just go find them!"
